Dreamseeds: Heart Tea Stone
Brewing tea with a heart-shaped infuser is already a romantic twist from an ordinary ball infuser. But Dreamseeds raises the aesthetic level by adding a trio of hand-assembled stones to the other end of the chain. Attached to the heart infuser is a quarter-sized goldstone encrusted with amethyst and garnet, and framed with a silver rim. Practical and beautiful, this tea infuser will be treasured by ladies who love tea. Other stone colors and designs are available.
